I was prepping myself for Ant's response to Cliven Bundy and holy poo poo did he not disappoint. His claim was that it was Bundy's presentation rather than idea that was the problem. Also that he was taken out of context.

A friend of mine who still listens to them directed me to Anthony's twitter timeline where he's nicely discussing Donald Sterling's racist comments. There is literally no difference between him and (name any white nationalist).

Everyone calling for action against Donald Sterling, please release tapes of your private conversations immediately. Oh, that's right...

Doesn't everybody worry about being associated with the blacks in private? Oh, that's right...not everybody is a racist shitheel.

Oh wait, Jimmy's actually defending his right to be a terrible shitheel in private. And people should really be offended that somebody secretly taped the guy being a racist shitheel. It's just like the NSA, you hypocrites!

Eh, is it really any different than a sex tape or drunk voicemails leaking out? It's kind of goofy to expect there to be no consequences because you didn't intend for it to come out.

It gets even funnier since O&A are always the first to jump on things like that and even leaked a photo of Anthony Weiner out.

Yes but Sterling has a long history of this poo poo, including seeming to treat them like he was a slave owner. Players have complained about him in the past bringing women into the locker room while they were showering and telling then to admire their black bodies. And he hasn't just made horribly racist statement in his own home, he's frequently done so in other settings including in front of David Stern. A man with his history has no business being an NBA owner. Check out the sheer number of incidents Deadspin as accumulated. It's indefensible.

This really isn't about free speech. But Jimmy will just say we deserve the NSA and Ant will say he's a victim of grave injustice because he can't scream about niggers without being fired. It's insane.

Jimmy is definitely not consistent on this issue, butI don't like the "GOTCHA" mentality and people trying to get people in trouble for their opinions and viewpoints. It reminds me too much of totalitarian societies where everyone rats out their neighbour and it kills honest discussions.

Also when race is involved the media narrative is even more obnoxious because they know these stories produce tons of clicks and views and everyone acts overly offended and disgusted because they want to prove that they are not racist to keep their job instead of being honest.

The media would act less outraged if he killed his trophy girlfriend.

Okay, but his opinion and viewpoint is that he doesn't want blacks around... and he owns an NBA team. He's the wrong man for that job and that's the heart of the issue. I wouldn't want somebody who hates the British to own a cricket team.

I agree that he's a shithead who really should be retired and playing golf or something, but anyone acting surprised and outraged that an 80 year old is racist is either fooling themselves or has never talked to an 80 year old before.

What's the honest discussion stemming from 'don't publicly associate yourself with black people'?

Don't get me wrong, I understand why the boys get mad at certain things but this kneejerk "GOTTA DEFEND HIM FREE SPEECH" bullshit is just as bad as the dumbbells trying to get Colbert fired for making a joke. Can't we look at each situation and go from there instead of buying into some stupid narrative?

(And I have to give Jimmy credit, I went back to listen to some of the Mel Gibson audio and he said the same 'well, hey, he didn't say it publicly and who doesn't yell on the phone' thing he's currently doing. Didn't stop them from doing five and a half hours on it but I guess his internal logic is semi consistent. - edit I forgot all about him actually defending Mel saying 'pack of wild niggers' because Mel was saying they were rapists.)

He does have the right to be a piece of poo poo in private. No one is going to put him in jail. What he doesn't have the right to is to own an NBA franchise.

Racists always think everyone else is trying to prove they aren't racist. Non racists aren't trying to prove anything, just treat their fellow man as an equal.

In the end, it all comes back to the sad 'Silent Majority' bullshit where people who hold abhorrent views secretly believe we all think that if the stigma around certain words were removed. Not only do they get to hold onto their beliefs without question, but they also get to feel all nice and victimized on top of it.

You know, I like the show. I like the guys, flaws and all, except for the goddamn racism thing. I don't even get Ant why they even bother discussing it because it falls into a black hole of hatred and ugly bigotry. This show is supposed to be fun and mean and disturbing, not a Klan rally of lazy radio. It's hard to believe we went from awesome radio of Lady Di's internship to this bullshit.

Yet we get to here Anthony go on and on and on about Obama, ACA, guns, and how racist things aren't actually racist because of..

I don't think I even have the energy to listen to O&A today. I mean I know what Ant and Jim's stance is, but just the way the present it makes it so repellent. They get so incredibly worked up that it's unpleasant to listen to. Hopefully Fez is still gone and Big Jay or Dan Soder will be on R&F again.

A hundred times this. I see 30ish new posts this morning and think something interesting has happened.

Nope, it's the same few people who "only listen to R&F anymore" repeating the same shite about Ant being racist and Jim being a hypocrite once again.

I have no problem with people discussing whatever aspects of the show but this thread has the same people, most of whom don't listen anymore supposedly, making the same points over and over.

I'd also be for the two shows having separate threads even though I listen to both. The fanbases are completely different.
